This is an important week, albeit a nervous one, for the village of Lake Placid.

Officials are trying to impress a committee from the World Triathlon Corporation to bring the 2017 Ironman 70.3 World Championships to the Adirondacks. Lake Placid has advanced to the final three sites from which the WTC will choose a winner. The others are St. George, Utah, and Chattanooga, Tenn.
